4. The following reaction scheme shows the radical polymerization of styrene to make polystyrene. a) Add electron-pushing arrows to show the mechanisms of steps 1-3. Determine if these are initiation, propagation, or termination steps. b) Radical polymerization is often performed in the absence of O2 because the oxygen radical can couple with the polymer radical to terminate polymerization. Propose electron-pushing arrows for step 4 and predict the product of that step.

Concerning the polymers produced from monomers containing a single C=C double bond, the following generalizations are apparent: (a) The polymers produced are almost always unsubstituted (i.e. ethylene) or have one substituent on the double bond or two substituents on the same carbon atom of the double bond. Monomers containing one or more substituents on each carbon of the double bond seldom polymerize. (b) Most chain polymerizations are carried out by radical initiation; relatively few are produced by ionic initiation. Why? Explain the reasons for these generalizations
